PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Langley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Semenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Langley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No More Heroes: Kill or Be Killed Mix. 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.
