PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ralphie Maldonado (ranked 1547 p4p, 2839 weight class) and Ned Kelly (ranked 205 p4p, 375 weight class). Kelly is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm a Criminal. 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.
