PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Butch Frewin (ranked 1522 p4p, 1200 weight class) and Gabriel Havran (ranked 177 p4p, 145 weight class). Frewin's entrance music is Billy the Squid's Water Pistol by The Neptunas. A fine choice. 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?
