PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dolph Lindgren (ranked 1747 p4p, 1872 weight class) and Jake Rizzo (ranked 238 p4p, 255 weight class). Rizzo has chosen Mastodon - Blood and Thunder 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?
