PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tacitus Kilgore (ranked 228 p4p, 540 weight class) and Harvey Stallion (ranked 27 p4p, 67 weight class). Stallion comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Riding on the horses by Daryl Braithwaite kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
