PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carl Sweetchuck (ranked 1445 p4p, 189 weight class) and Guido Turturro (ranked 569 p4p, 73 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sweetchuck might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Police Academy. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
