PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Islam Sulimani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Callahan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sulimani might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Walla. 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.
