PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Santino Oliviera (ranked 1573 p4p, 3041 weight class) and Sean Faolin (ranked 216 p4p, 367 weight class). Faolin has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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?
