PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Nagiev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tham Boon Yodsuwan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nagiev's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dmitry Nagiev - All I Promised. Yodsuwan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: LL Cool J - Mama' Said Knock You Out. 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?
