PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Helber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Dance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Helber's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, War is coming. Dance has chosen Broken Beating Scarred - Metallica 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?
