PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cole Watts (ranked 2181 p4p, 1487 weight class) and Svend Thorsby (ranked 109 p4p, 73 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Watts might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shook Ones - By: Mobb Deep. 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?
