PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between David Dilbrandt (ranked 1418 p4p, 964 weight class) and Florisvaldo De Oliveira (ranked 84 p4p, 53 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dilbrandt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rock the Dragon. 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?
