PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bryer McGuire (ranked 340 p4p, 51 weight class) and Pauke Murhaa (ranked 225 p4p, 31 weight class). McGuire's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nothing More - Go To War. 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?
