PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hiranuka Stakanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Colbert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stakanu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Oy, To Ne Vecher. 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.
