PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Methodios McIntyre (ranked 22 p4p, 282 weight class) and Lou Cabrazzi (ranked 4 p4p, 36 weight class). McIntyre's entrance music is Gallantry. A fine choice. Cabrazzi has chosen Falling Under Again by Buff Justice as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
