PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Seok Yi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tway Ma Shaung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sir Sly - You Haunt Me (Soysauce Edition). Seok Yi could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tway Ma Shaung 's chin.
