PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Levon Charleston (ranked 2166 p4p, 2444 weight class) and Danny Stewart (ranked 271 p4p, 302 weight class). Stewart has chosen Tupac - Hit 'Em Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
