PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mason Love (ranked 30 p4p, 358 weight class) and Peter Dinklage (ranked 3 p4p, 30 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Love might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to HonestKey- Music. 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.
