PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stu Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mercer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Trapt-Still Frame. 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.
