PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Grendel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neil NaLeans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grendel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rjd2 - Ghostwriter . 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.
