PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Oneil (ranked 1 p4p, 32 weight class) and Carlo Pedersoli (ranked 1 p4p, 7 weight class). Oneil's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Metallica - Spit Out The Bone. 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?
