PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Burnt Faceman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Hollis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faceman comes into the arena with Dirt Road Anthem blaring out of the sound system. Hollis has chosen UGK - Pocket Full of Stones 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?
