PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sam Crow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silvio Crespo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mgk- Spotlight. 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.
