PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Harrison Lloyd (ranked 4366 p4p, 6101 weight class) and Michael Bisping (ranked 0 p4p, 623 weight class). Lloyd kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sanguine 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?
