PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Artem Markov (ranked 5166 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axel Solberg (ranked 6213 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Markov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay Bling - Aye. 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?
