PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carney Duffy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiroshimo Sakamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duffy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brawl - Bloody spit. 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.
