PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lanny Poffo (ranked 4921 p4p, 405 weight class) and Jeff Miller (ranked 22634 p4p, 577 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Poffo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Genius. 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?
