PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aldo Raine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Easton Bauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Raine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slaughter - Billy Preston. 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.
