PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Patricio Tavares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derrick Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tavares might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Armin van Buuren - Sail. 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.
