PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cyrus Deangelo Queen (ranked 1890 p4p, 1910 weight class) and Master Leader (ranked 236 p4p, 237 weight class). Queen comes to the cage accompanied by Go Hard. Leader has chosen Champions - Kanye West (ft Travis Scott, Quavo, etc…) 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?
