PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Julio Galvao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remy Jacquard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Galvao might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandstorm. Jacquard has chosen Maitre Gims - J'me tire 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?
