PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Borowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorge Dennis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Borowski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill . 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.
