PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Agansing Rai (ranked 1068 p4p, 2142 weight class) and Octavio Dos Anjos (ranked 155 p4p, 295 weight class). Rai comes to the cage accompanied by Break Stuff. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dos Anjos's choice of entrance music: Somebodies' Gonna Get They Ass Kicked. 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?
