PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Rokocoko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buck Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Cannibal Corpes - Hammer smashed face kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
