PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Salazar (ranked 2309 p4p, 322 weight class) and Louis C K (ranked 715 p4p, 105 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying C K's choice of entrance music: Louis C.K. Stand-Up Monologue - SNL. 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?
