PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bang Pitung (ranked 905 p4p, 113 weight class) and Alexander Quin (ranked 2240 p4p, 244 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pitung might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Agrikultur - Kompor Mleduk. 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.
