PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vino Kourov (ranked 2238 p4p, 2505 weight class) and Mateo Hernandez (ranked 154 p4p, 174 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kourov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to COME ON. 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.
