PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Bravo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Norbury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bravo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to timbuktu. Norbury has chosen critical mass - nuclear assault as his entrance music. 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?
