PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Noel Diaz (ranked 17 p4p, 1109 weight class) and KJ Wassermann (ranked 3 p4p, 152 weight class). Diaz's entrance music is The Stockton Slap Song. A fine choice. 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?
