PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bal Rog (ranked 2993 p4p, 3561 weight class) and Orlando Whyte (ranked 340 p4p, 378 weight class). Whyte is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mobb Deep - Shook Ones, Pt. II. 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?
