PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sam Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ha Lo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kung Fu Fighting. 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.
