PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Angus MacArthur Ii (ranked 170 p4p, 371 weight class) and Humors Lacplesis (ranked 28 p4p, 58 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacArthur Ii might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Corvus Corax - Bibit Aleum. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
