PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chris Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keisuke Miyagi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Griffin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sail by AWOLNATION. Griffin has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Chris Griffin has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
