PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick van Greeven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanislav Nedkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think van Greeven might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tom Waits - Telephone call from Istanbul. 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?
