PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kuai Liang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Camatta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liang kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is So Cold by Breaking Benjamin. 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?
