PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lewis Tsushima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzalez comes to the cage accompanied by Why Cant we Be Friends!. Tsushima has chosen Eminem - Till I Collapse as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
