PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Murray Bookchin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Killer Kawalski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bookchin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Suicide Machines - Islands. 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.
