PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Beaudell Beckham Jr (ranked 1696 p4p, 1448 weight class) and Shen Po (ranked 248 p4p, 218 weight class). Po comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ei-tetsu Hayashi & 木下伸市 kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
