PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kemar Powell (ranked 595 p4p, 505 weight class) and Pallas Anttonen (ranked 79 p4p, 71 weight class). Powell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Baby & Lil Durk - Hats Off. 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?
