PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Dias Jimenez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saul Goodman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goodman has chosen Baba O'riley 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?
