PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ana Conda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Conda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Los Bastardos Finlandeses - Acapulco. Anthony Hopkins has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Ana Conda's chin.
