PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bradley Rainey (ranked 582 p4p, 415 weight class) and Junqueiro Santo Amaro (ranked 87 p4p, 66 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Santo Amaro's choice of entrance music: дигга на юг. 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?
