PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elio Mohorovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawkins comes to the cage accompanied by Jay-Z - Empire State of Mind. Mohorovic has chosen Roots by Sepultura 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?
