PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henri Kirchen (ranked 2620 p4p, 254 weight class) and Keon Douglas (ranked 1679 p4p, 172 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Douglas's choice of entrance music: Gangsters Paradise. 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?
