PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Todd Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pierre Labont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Labont comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bad Religion's Walk Away kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
