PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Ramis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Negreanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Negreanu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. 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.
