PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Mann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howard comes into the arena with My Hero blaring out of the sound system. Tony Mann struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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?
