PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gustav Line (ranked 554 p4p, 549 weight class) and Jackson Pollock (ranked 85 p4p, 84 weight class). Line comes into the arena with For Heavy Metal we will die! blaring out of the sound system. Pollock has chosen Free Jazz 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?
