PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peoples Champion (ranked 1189 p4p, 2648 weight class) and Sven Torvik (ranked 139 p4p, 304 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Champion might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Aegukka. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
