PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Sweet (ranked 1411 p4p, 1060 weight class) and Klement Burian (ranked 184 p4p, 141 weight class). Sweet comes to the cage accompanied by Pop that Pussy. Burian has chosen Kontrafakt - JBMNT prod. Maiky Beatz 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?
