PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alistair Spong (ranked 1074 p4p, 147 weight class) and Tel Britton (ranked 752 p4p, 110 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) . 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.
