PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between William Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jong Un Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blake might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dead Man. Jong Un Kim has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
