PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mad Dog Malone (ranked 2445 p4p, 4088 weight class) and Shane Murphy (ranked 327 p4p, 504 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Malone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad Boys - Inner Circle. 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.
