PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexi Peres (ranked 3947 p4p, 3605 weight class) and Fran Carrasco (ranked 407 p4p, 382 weight class). Carrasco is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Airbourne - Runnin' Wild. 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?
