PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Masatacu Oyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Nichols (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Oyama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Masutatsu Oyama 10 DAN. Masatacu Oyama could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Chris Nichols's chin.
