PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Kronke (ranked 4180 p4p, 3476 weight class) and Watchman Nee (ranked 536 p4p, 463 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kronke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Feuer Frei. 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.
