PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Julio Christ (ranked 497 p4p, 890 weight class) and Devon Collins (ranked 34 p4p, 17 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Collins's choice of entrance music: "Name of the Game" Crystal Method. 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.
