PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuvraj Singh (ranked 213 p4p, 239 weight class) and Solomon Nao (ranked 37 p4p, 40 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Nao's choice of entrance music: The End. 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?
