PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Methodios McIntyre (ranked 25 p4p, 203 weight class) and Kwadwo Adunga Jr (ranked 5 p4p, 30 weight class). McIntyre's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gallantry. Adunga Jr has chosen Eye of the Tiger 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?
