PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Howie Dewitt (ranked 63 p4p, 244 weight class) and Cyrus Prix (ranked 8 p4p, 34 weight class). Dewitt comes to the cage accompanied by Montell Jordan - This Is How We Do It. Prix has chosen Richard by Slowdive 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?
