PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Linus Akerman (ranked 42 p4p, 10 weight class) and DeShawn Johnson (ranked 282 p4p, 44 weight class). Johnson has chosen Eazy e- real mother fuckin gs 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?
