PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ralph Garman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Mendoza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hollywood Babble-On. 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.
