PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Oneil (ranked 20 p4p, 396 weight class) and Kobra Jay (ranked 2 p4p, 31 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Oneil might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Spit Out The Bone. 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.
