PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Xavi Yurchon (ranked 2675 p4p, 3373 weight class) and Angelo Canzanilla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yurchon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to X-Men 97 Intro. Angelo Canzanilla is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
