PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ming Xin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armas Kuusisto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xin's entrance music is Ave Maria. A fine choice. Kuusisto is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: System of a down - Chop Suey. 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?
