PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tim Pierno (ranked 205 p4p, 31 weight class) and Bobby Shamrock (ranked 148 p4p, 21 weight class). Pierno's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sick Puppies - You're Going Down . 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?
