PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jah Wobble (ranked 756 p4p, 82 weight class) and Rei Bourke (ranked 209 p4p, 26 weight class). Bourke has chosen Champion 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?
