PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alan Spence (ranked 701 p4p, 1123 weight class) and Daniel Steel (ranked 13 p4p, 86 weight class). Spence comes to the cage accompanied by Were Coming. The crowd seem to be enjoying Steel's choice of entrance music: BILMURI - 2016 CAVALIERS. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
