PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Gaines (ranked 784 p4p, 941 weight class) and Mick Marsden (ranked 104 p4p, 125 weight class). Marsden has chosen Brick - Ben Folds Five as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
