PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Bjorkman (ranked 306 p4p, 89 weight class) and Leandro Leao (ranked 17 p4p, 6 weight class). Leao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bucket o' Blood - Big Boy Groves. 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?
