PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Osmo Vasama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurt the wrestler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vasama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beastie Boys - Sureshot. 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.
