PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Natsu Dragneel (ranked 462 p4p, 798 weight class) and Cyrus Deangelo Queen (ranked 62 p4p, 111 weight class). Dragneel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Come the Fire Dragon. Queen has chosen Go Hard as his entrance music. 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?
