PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Claudio Escorre (ranked 1603 p4p, 4234 weight class) and Fionn MacCumhaill (ranked 62 p4p, 142 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Escorre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Chico Science & Nação Zumbi - Da Lama Ao Caos. Fionn MacCumhaill will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
