PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Uli Kunkel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thai Boxer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kunkel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bubbles - Bidibodi Bidibu. 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.
