PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johan Perciwall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grover Dowiyogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dowiyogo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by another life - kano. 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.
