PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Hosea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cody Tate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hosea might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Busta Rhymes - Break Ya Neck. Daniel Hosea looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
