PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hoyt Jurgensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cory Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jurgensen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sgt Barry Sadler - Ballad of the Green Beret. 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.
