PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Miller (ranked 1179 p4p, 123 weight class) and Ksawery Koltun (ranked 4009 p4p, 355 weight class). Miller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Killers. 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?
