PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Domingo Chavez (ranked 677 p4p, 90 weight class) and Jay Steve (ranked 1831 p4p, 225 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Steve's choice of entrance music: Deetox - Headknocker. 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?
