PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Wallace (ranked 2755 p4p, 260 weight class) and Dick Glover (ranked 6230 p4p, 445 weight class). Glover is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Metallica - Don't Tread on Me. 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?
