PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Escobar Chavez (ranked 140 p4p, 21 weight class) and Kosken Jorma (ranked 544 p4p, 69 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Escobar Chavez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Buena Vista Social Club - Hasta Siempre. 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?
