PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kim Kavern (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kavern might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mudvayne - Dig. Thiago Oliveira is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
