PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sarvar Yuldashev (ranked 2455 p4p, 243 weight class) and John Smith (ranked 1952 p4p, 197 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yuldashev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gods Gonna Cut You Down- Johnny Cash. John Smith will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
