PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Szymon Piechnicki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Freeman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Judo Flip. Piechnicki has chosen Shantel - Disko Partizani 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?
