PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Shifter (ranked 2610 p4p, 2738 weight class) and Boxing Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shifter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker . 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.
