PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hale Tommasson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Van Der Meyde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tommasson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bitch Please 3. 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.
