PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Star Dust (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyaf Daeland Puno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dust's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, For Heavy Metal we will die!. Puno has chosen I'm a soldier - Tupac as his entrance music. 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?
