PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Erik Hiller (ranked 3941 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdulla Al Hassan (ranked 25146 p4p, 0 weight class). Hiller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rush and Run - Shake and Jump. 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?
