NYF 109: Sillalahi vs Hopson PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Memnon Tithonus (ranked 2226 p4p, 3254 weight class) and Rory Devaney (ranked 237 p4p, 334 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tithonus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nishaiar - Duhanakhar. 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?
