PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Soszynski (ranked 810 p4p, 133 weight class) and Michael Bennet (ranked 1023 p4p, 162 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Soszynski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fire and Flame by Rotting Christ. 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.
