PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Rojas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Black Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rojas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Apaga Mas Não Bate. 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?
