PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Teke Bamalog (ranked 495 p4p, 68 weight class) and John Wall (ranked 1254 p4p, 164 weight class). Bamalog kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stubborn Robot Original Nuttah. Wall is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Metallica - Enter Sandman. 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.
