PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edward Wong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Do (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to CKY - Fat Fuck. 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.
