PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Felipe Feltre (ranked 179 p4p, 7 weight class) and Johnny Pearson (ranked 523 p4p, 27 weight class). Feltre kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Someday Never Comes. 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.
