PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Randall McMurphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ali Seyedi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McMurphy's entrance music is I own Golly God.. A fine choice. Seyedi has chosen Hypnotize- Biggie smalls 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?
