PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Barbosa (ranked 1138 p4p, 3612 weight class) and Diego Almanza (ranked 142 p4p, 413 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barbosa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Go to Sleep. 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.
