Wow they are really serious about this Versus thing, that is a way better card than 108, i’d even consider paying for that

So does Kongo “stand and bang” because he’s younger and it’s his strength, or does he try and take him to the ground where, maybe, just maybe, he’s got the advantage, having shown some signs of life down there?

This has the making of a short banger, but I may have to go with kongo and his MT arsenal, or it may just turn out to be another kimbo vs houston. Boring!

Oh, I forgot, this card looks a lot better than randy vs coleman card.
