PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sampson Shain (ranked 1505 p4p, 1695 weight class) and Sheev Palpatine (ranked 189 p4p, 208 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Palpatine's choice of entrance music: I am the Senate. 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.
