PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joao Sousa (ranked 19249 p4p, 540 weight class) and Vitaly Ragozin (ranked 23308 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sousa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beat It. 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.
