PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eli Rambeau (ranked 1596 p4p, 1707 weight class) and Odd Hansen (ranked 211 p4p, 223 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rambeau might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BAD COMPANY. Hansen has chosen Post Malone-Rockstar 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?
