PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jingky Bacolod (ranked 3253 p4p, 4794 weight class) and Bruno Neves (ranked 156 p4p, 215 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bacolod might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Havana. Jingky Bacolod could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bruno Neves's chin.
