PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kosti Lom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bahh Tee. 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.
