PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ki Ruyjini (ranked 1632 p4p, 3517 weight class) and Tanner Herro (ranked 220 p4p, 447 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ruyjini might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jincheng Zhang. 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?
