PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dusko Casic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeorge Johanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johanson has chosen Ain't No Grave- Johnny Cash as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
