PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Hanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Terell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hanks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. 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.
