PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Dawkins (ranked 112 p4p, 852 weight class) and Balogh Szabolcs (ranked 22 p4p, 116 weight class). Dawkins comes to the cage accompanied by Hawaii Five-O. 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?
