PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Orestes Prometheus (ranked 73 p4p, 210 weight class) and Alexander Rozhkov (ranked 12 p4p, 29 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Prometheus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Before I Forget - Slipknot. 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.
