PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mitchell Beasley (ranked 3555 p4p, 25285 weight class) and Kobe Joyce (ranked 278 p4p, 0 weight class). Beasley's entrance music is Welcome to Brixton. A fine choice. Joyce has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
