PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yamaoka Yukinobu (ranked 1413 p4p, 2059 weight class) and David Dilbrandt (ranked 125 p4p, 175 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Dilbrandt's choice of entrance music: Rock the Dragon. 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?
