PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lynch's entrance music is Black Republican -- Nas. A fine choice. Santiago has chosen Rick Ross - Superhigh 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?
