PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Staltz Volkof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Kamm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Volkof might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Downfall by Trust Company. 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.
