PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sherlok Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keith Huntington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Holmes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angelo Badalamenti - Dance Of The Dream Man. 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.
