PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Borys Mankowski (ranked 4304 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Soto (ranked 2613 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mankowski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kękę -Wyjebane. Mankowski is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
