PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Tinto (ranked 5803 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edgar Alves (ranked 7664 p4p, 0 weight class). Tinto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shell Shocked. Tinto 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?
