PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Berg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nino Canaleta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Canaleta is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: bink sake-one piece. 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?
