PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Elrey Dorado (ranked 309 p4p, 535 weight class) and Benny The Bouncer (ranked 46 p4p, 73 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dorado might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MY STORY. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
