PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Noah Bennet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cup Tea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bennet might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Unloco - Crashing. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
