PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nazar Yurchon (ranked 4772 p4p, 3857 weight class) and Chuncho Tito (ranked 391 p4p, 357 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yurchon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Smokin' [Nas]. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
