PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Mack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Asylbek Malybaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mack might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to homies by icp. Mack is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Asylbek Malybaev told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
