PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luimunaama Lare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomi Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lare might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Hell's Bells. 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?
