PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Schmidt (ranked 838 p4p, 1579 weight class) and Ricky Sweet (ranked 112 p4p, 201 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Sweet's choice of entrance music: Pop that Pussy. 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?
