PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Recksun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genghis Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Recksun might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Stroke. Recksun has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Genghis Diggs will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
