PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Estefan Sanchez (ranked 5058 p4p, 587 weight class) and Gunnar Wylde (ranked 4503 p4p, 536 weight class). Sanchez's entrance music is Lil'Wayne - Right Above It feat. Drake. A fine choice. Wylde has chosen Black Label Society - Parade of the Dead 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?
