PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mitsugi Kitahachi (ranked 2719 p4p, 5528 weight class) and Mano Paquiao (ranked 292 p4p, 484 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kitahachi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fly-day Chinatown. 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.
