PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between DJ Kat (ranked 3565 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Butabi (ranked 374 p4p, 0 weight class). Butabi has chosen Make That Money as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
