PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Bolleke (ranked 203 p4p, 448 weight class) and Bruce Kiwi (ranked 25 p4p, 47 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bolleke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to RGP - DANG DIGGI BANG. Kiwi has chosen Reaper as his entrance music. 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.
