PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brick Smashem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Twardowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smashem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Takyon - Death Grips. Andrzej Twardowski will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
