PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chico Corrales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aiden ORielly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Corrales might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brainstorm - Waterfall. 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.
