PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Public Enemy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Enemy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to (Silence). Styles has chosen Wrecking Ball 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?
