PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brian Fury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Syman Omapoika (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fury might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rammstein - Te Quiero Puta. 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?
