PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabrijel Bozic (ranked 1143 p4p, 1721 weight class) and Daniel Steel (ranked 54 p4p, 75 weight class). Steel is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: BILMURI - 2016 CAVALIERS. 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.
