PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brass Knuckles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knuckles comes into the arena with One 24 blaring out of the sound system. Menace has chosen Leroy Brown 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?
