PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mapuche Galvarino (ranked 726 p4p, 1506 weight class) and Hunter Hendricks (ranked 90 p4p, 198 weight class). Galvarino comes to the cage accompanied by Wretched of the Earth - El Otro Lado. Hendricks is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cowboy - Kid Rock. 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?
