PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fezzik Montoya (ranked 4057 p4p, 4383 weight class) and Orn Frostulfsson (ranked 420 p4p, 436 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Montoya might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Other thing. 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.
