PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Brown (ranked 204 p4p, 561 weight class) and Martin Jonsson (ranked 32 p4p, 72 weight class). Brown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gloom, Doom, Heartache and Whiskey. 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?
