PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dean Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troy Lancaster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duggan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger. 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?
