PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Munson (ranked 922 p4p, 970 weight class) and Anakoni Kai (ranked 49 p4p, 51 weight class). 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?
