PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brad Chestner (ranked 937 p4p, 916 weight class) and Aleks Kuznetsov (ranked 139 p4p, 138 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chestner might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Eyed Bruiser. 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?
