PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kronos Gianpopolos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richie O Grady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gianpopolos comes to the cage accompanied by Pit Bull- Dammit Man. O Grady has chosen (no) Self Esteem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
