PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kree P Krawlee (ranked 1320 p4p, 1059 weight class) and Dave McDonald (ranked 185 p4p, 155 weight class). Krawlee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sail. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
