PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Piano (ranked 374 p4p, 47 weight class) and Milton Friedman (ranked 362 p4p, 43 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Piano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rick going ham on a bitch. 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.
