PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mateus Nunes (ranked 1474 p4p, 1337 weight class) and Philip Marcus (ranked 146 p4p, 133 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nunes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nickelback - How You Remind Me. 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?
