PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between King Panda (ranked 4235 p4p, 2248 weight class) and Zion Uroway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uroway has chosen "The Blob" Theme song from 1958 as his entrance music. 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?
