PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Calamote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Snarke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Calamote might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm not a Superstar. 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.
