PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonas Turner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Killer Karm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Turner might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eye of the tiger. 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.
