PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Methodios McIntyre (ranked 313 p4p, 561 weight class) and Davonte Durant (ranked 46 p4p, 77 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McIntyre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gallantry. Durant has chosen No Bullets Fly - Sabaton as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
