PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pohaku Scott (ranked 1406 p4p, 1423 weight class) and Greg Dansworth (ranked 189 p4p, 194 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Scott might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ukulele Lady- Arlo Guthrie. 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?
