PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Arnaud De Gindra (ranked 3870 p4p, 3789 weight class) and Jarred Brooks (ranked 240 p4p, 235 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Gindra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Da Pacem Domine. Jarred Brooks has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
