PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tenzin Tsering (ranked 825 p4p, 1493 weight class) and Mando Morin (ranked 107 p4p, 187 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tsering might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Мен – тыва мен. 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.
