PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Schultz (ranked 376 p4p, 432 weight class) and Tony Viikinki (ranked 21 p4p, 25 weight class). Schultz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Love Bites. 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?
