PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Maestre (ranked 754 p4p, 1569 weight class) and Mitsugu Takeishi (ranked 23 p4p, 56 weight class). Takeishi has chosen Kabuki Gomen-Jyo 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?
