PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Dunk (ranked 1797 p4p, 1981 weight class) and Jim Rhat (ranked 231 p4p, 256 weight class). Rhat has chosen Das Ist It 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?
