PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmi Nedram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kostas Mytilinaios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nedram might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Walk With Me In HELL!!!!. Mytilinaios has chosen Sanitarium as his entrance music. 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.
