PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leandro Leao (ranked 1299 p4p, 1189 weight class) and Alexev Savinov (ranked 150 p4p, 141 weight class). Savinov has chosen HonestKey- Point A as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
