PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hatsu Matsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geralt Of Ravia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matsu's entrance music is LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It. A fine choice. Of Ravia is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Witcher. 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?
