PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Three Dog (ranked 82 p4p, 12 weight class) and Tupa Halloo (ranked 191 p4p, 24 weight class). Dog's entrance music is Fallout. A fine choice. 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?
