PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Boris Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garcia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Essentials Feat J2K & Dynasty - "State Your Name". Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
