PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Masato Akiyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zanderson Zilva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Akiyama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fallen Army - GRV Music. 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.
