PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rufus Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Duddy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hill might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to sex money and murder. 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.
