PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bigi Boi Chai (ranked 1836 p4p, 25009 weight class) and Rick Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirt. Chai is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
