PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone has chosen 2001 Space Odissey/Blow me away (Breaking Benjamin) combo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
