PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Stuber Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kerry Sibley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stuber Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crank That (Travis barker Remix). 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?
