PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michele Mancinelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mancinelli might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lookin' Out My Backdoor. 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?
