PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kahoolawe Built (ranked 110 p4p, 17 weight class) and Alphonzo Mirage (ranked 68 p4p, 11 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Built might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hawaiian War Chant. 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.
