PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Petchuanglek Sitsongrit (ranked 66 p4p, 428 weight class) and Pablo De Geno (ranked 3 p4p, 32 weight class). De Geno has chosen DE MEXICO SONG 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?
