PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eliott Leighton (ranked 2065 p4p, 3078 weight class) and Kawonn Peeples (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leighton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood. Kawonn Peeples has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
