PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Manco Capac (ranked 1950 p4p, 537 weight class) and Mister Lee (ranked 248 p4p, 79 weight class). Capac's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Iggy Pop - The Passenger. Lee has chosen Born To Hula - Kyuss as his entrance music. 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?
