PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kabal Labak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wright might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Only the Strong will Continue. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
