PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nedser Kiely (ranked 3488 p4p, 4405 weight class) and Otso Toivonen (ranked 474 p4p, 540 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kiely might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hammer Smash Face. 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.
