PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Solomona Faaiuaso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guy Agata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Faaiuaso might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mysterious Girl - Peter Andre. Guy Agata will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
