PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tim Horton (ranked 829 p4p, 986 weight class) and Jake Paul (ranked 133 p4p, 132 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Horton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Canada National Anthem. 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.
