PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sepp Maier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oisin O Conghaile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maier's entrance music is Apaga mas não bate. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying O Conghaile's choice of entrance music: The Deer's Cry by Angelina. 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?
