PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jared Hart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hart might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to headstrong. Hart has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Jared Hart has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
