PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Danger (ranked 48 p4p, 139 weight class) and Chaikka Chai (ranked 11 p4p, 22 weight class). Danger's entrance music is Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. A fine choice. Chai has chosen Dead Man Walking 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?
