PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between ya da (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Madison Martigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martigan has chosen Metalica's 'Creeping Death' as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
