PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Julius Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and M I Callis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Its a Fight. Callis has chosen The Humans Are Dead as his entrance music. 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?
