PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Miquel Prado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amin Sax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prado kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Top Gun - Highway to the Dangerzone . Sax is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Infected Mushroom - Smashing The Opponent. 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.
