PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Conrad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Conrad's entrance music is Rider Part II. A fine choice. Zivic has chosen La La Girl by Paffendorf 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?
