PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wilner Fatiman (ranked 3960 p4p, 171 weight class) and James Osterberg (ranked 2515 p4p, 130 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fatiman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Zion Train. James Osterberg has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
