PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Piletich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pizzazz Longez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Piletich kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Manowar-King of Kings. 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?
