PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trent Punchy (ranked 3093 p4p, 418 weight class) and Brian Murphy (ranked 9268 p4p, 769 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Murphy's choice of entrance music: Róisín Murphy - Primitive. 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?
