PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chief Shadow (ranked 1023 p4p, 141 weight class) and Liam James (ranked 2496 p4p, 296 weight class). James has chosen Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin 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?
