PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dirk Janssen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Goss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Janssen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No Easy Way Out by Robert Tepper. Goss has chosen Sybreed: Emma-0 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?
