PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Gage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Velasquez's choice of entrance music: Kryptonite. 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?

Velasquez drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Velasquez seems to have locked his on tight now - Gage screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Velasquez, as he picks up the win!
