PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yatamatomo Hirozaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Li-Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hirozaki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - Primal Concrete Sledge. 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.
