PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jose Castellanos (ranked 867 p4p, 466 weight class) and Barack Obaminator (ranked 103 p4p, 59 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Obaminator's choice of entrance music: Gil Scott-Herron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. 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?
