PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karter Kinshaw (ranked 491 p4p, 50 weight class) and Philip Gallagher (ranked 480 p4p, 49 weight class). Gallagher is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Vindictives - Stupid Song. 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.
