PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Padeiro Chucro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Ziribastow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chucro's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nikolay Emelin - Rus. Ziribastow is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DEAD STARS. 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.
