PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Fachada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mir might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West - Amazing . Fachada has chosen Rock Superstar as his entrance music. 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.
