PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Minasian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giovanni Rocket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Minasian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX4b4eyEwI8. 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.
