PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mohandes Ghandi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Venno Akker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ghandi's entrance music is Am I Demon. A fine choice. Akker has chosen Static-X - Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment 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?
