PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jason Stillwell (ranked 2731 p4p, 4363 weight class) and Nikolai Tsavieva (ranked 304 p4p, 469 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stillwell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Burning Heart. Nikolai Tsavieva will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
