PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dallas MacMillan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oktawian August (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacMillan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Outlaw. August has chosen Hit 'em up as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
