PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joad Cressbeckler (ranked 87 p4p, 102 weight class) and Logan Barrengarry (ranked 16 p4p, 18 weight class). Cressbeckler comes to the cage accompanied by American Remains. Barrengarry is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix. 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?
