PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Will Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martti Aho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Power might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gary Pucket - Lady Will Power. 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?
