PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zack Dio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malietoa Feti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dio comes to the cage accompanied by Megadeth - Dialectic Chaos. Feti is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cradle to Grave - Broken God. 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.
