PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hikaru Monotoshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blacky Wilshere (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Monotoshi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stooges - Search and Destroy. Wilshere has chosen YMCA 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?
