PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Atlas Kivi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kivi comes to the cage accompanied by Metallica - Ride the Lightning. Cero is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hate Me Now - Nas. 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?
