PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Henderson (ranked 5988 p4p, 484 weight class) and Dexter Warren (ranked 5127 p4p, 449 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Henderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hellboy. 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.
