PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miksu Rupunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdi Muhammed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rupunen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. Abdi Muhammed will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
