PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buster Napoleon (ranked 270 p4p, 15 weight class) and Brandon Vee (ranked 184 p4p, 12 weight class). Vee has chosen Da Mystery of Chessboxin by Wu-Tang Clan as his entrance music. 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?
