PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Lancaster (ranked 720 p4p, 1396 weight class) and Will Smif (ranked 101 p4p, 178 weight class). Lancaster's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slipknot - I Am Hated. 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?
