PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Captain Blood (ranked 2118 p4p, 986 weight class) and Floki Gunnarsson (ranked 250 p4p, 140 weight class). Gunnarsson has chosen Peyton Parrish - My Mother Told Me (Old Norse) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
