PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dan Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shin Dong Hyuk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Price's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Black Label Society - Bleed for Me. 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?
