PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Parker (ranked 1466 p4p, 1364 weight class) and Jeremy Arnason (ranked 194 p4p, 180 weight class). Arnason is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Michael Jackson - Off The Wall. 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?
