PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vito Scaletta (ranked 1333 p4p, 179 weight class) and Heribert Bosch (ranked 1052 p4p, 135 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Scaletta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to i kill cause im hungry. Bosch comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Oktoberfest 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?
