PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Albodean (ranked 683 p4p, 1247 weight class) and Teo-King Beanbag (ranked 87 p4p, 149 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Albodean might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I ain't worried - One Republic. 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.
