PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Seymour Hughes (ranked 1517 p4p, 2118 weight class) and Spurgu Nator (ranked 232 p4p, 303 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hughes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Self. Spurgu Nator told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
