PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Pogie (ranked 2017 p4p, 2061 weight class) and Freaky Craig (ranked 129 p4p, 132 weight class). Pogie's entrance music is Nobody’s Angel. A fine choice. Freaky Craig has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
