PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryder Young (ranked 96 p4p, 151 weight class) and Alexey Markov (ranked 8 p4p, 9 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Young might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Of Monsters and Men - Destroyer. 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.
