PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gotan Wasselach (ranked 1271 p4p, 1821 weight class) and Tomas Tetrev (ranked 159 p4p, 225 weight class). Wasselach kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Time Is On My Side by Maze. 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?
