PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matt Quin (ranked 75 p4p, 13 weight class) and Yoshihiro Asai (ranked 245 p4p, 34 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Quin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Captain Jack - Iko Iko. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
