PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Slinger (ranked 3182 p4p, 1801 weight class) and Ted Bremner (ranked 213 p4p, 131 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slinger might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hail Mary. 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.
