PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adonis Stevenson (ranked 206 p4p, 192 weight class) and Khru Jako (ranked 29 p4p, 26 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Jako's choice of entrance music: Catch a Fire. 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?
