PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Diaz (ranked 4961 p4p, 435 weight class) and Joaquin Jinete (ranked 7807 p4p, 524 weight class). Diaz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is jailbreak. 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?
