PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nord Licht (ranked 4040 p4p, 3837 weight class) and Patrick Kearney (ranked 499 p4p, 476 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Licht might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Heavy Metal we will die!. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
