PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Deividas Vilkas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Speakman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vilkas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hunter/Killer. Jeff Speakman will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
