PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Dignam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Humphry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dignam might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds. Humphry has chosen Iggy And The Stooges - 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?
