PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emmanuel Kuntz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Adebisi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kuntz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
