PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Abdel Mumu (ranked 178 p4p, 251 weight class) and Tobias Murphy (ranked 28 p4p, 37 weight class). Mumu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Steeg Cypher - Maniphest DestNE & Choppie Chopp. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
