PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Enrique Gonzales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Narong Yeerum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzales's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Himno Nacional Mexicano. Yeerum comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Love You 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.
