PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Chong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Hull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I SHOT THE SHERIFF. 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?
