PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pitt Longstaff (ranked 2814 p4p, 2942 weight class) and Murilo Figueiredo (ranked 367 p4p, 383 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Longstaff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Death Grips - Bottomless Pit. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
