PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikhail Brezhnev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tairy Greene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brezhnev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirty Magic - The Offspring. 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.
