PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buhawi Jack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Junior might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong. Buhawi Jack will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
