PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between AC Slater (ranked 1864 p4p, 274 weight class) and Antonio Jose De Sucre (ranked 1742 p4p, 258 weight class). Slater's entrance music is Stop What Ya Doin. A fine choice. De Sucre has chosen Bolivianos el Hado Propicio 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?
