PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Early Grayce (ranked 2307 p4p, 1569 weight class) and Aled Lloyd (ranked 57 p4p, 35 weight class). Lloyd is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rock You Like a Hurricane (2011). 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.
