PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sasa Gusi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Broph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gusi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ekipa- BGD Syndicate. Craig Broph will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
