PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fuzzy Feelings (ranked 4387 p4p, 5263 weight class) and Alex Walken (ranked 551 p4p, 602 weight class). Walken has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
