PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greg Coleman (ranked 659 p4p, 110 weight class) and Solomon Kahn (ranked 403 p4p, 61 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coleman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Mother Earth - Not Quite Sonic. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
