PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Seagram (ranked 180 p4p, 25 weight class) and Jason Sturd Jr (ranked 174 p4p, 24 weight class). Sturd Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Waka Flocka Flame - 50K (Neon Dreams Remix). 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?
