PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sterling Draper (ranked 3697 p4p, 2118 weight class) and Glen Hoddle (ranked 406 p4p, 275 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Draper might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Asshole. 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.
