PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mike Spear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artur Bosko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spear comes into the arena with Be Survivor blaring out of the sound system. Spear has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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?
