PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sajad Gharibi (ranked 4595 p4p, 493 weight class) and Alfonso Beneventi (ranked 2655 p4p, 310 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gharibi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Enter Sandman. 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?
