PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kisada Hida (ranked 2501 p4p, 128 weight class) and Michael Collins (ranked 3467 p4p, 169 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hida might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Noisestorm - Crab Rave. 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.
