PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Enzo Perez (ranked 287 p4p, 45 weight class) and Hans Byyler (ranked 1451 p4p, 223 weight class). Byyler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kube - Who run it (freestyle). 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.
