PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lorenzo Bataglia (ranked 328 p4p, 1076 weight class) and Marton Csemy (ranked 22 p4p, 65 weight class). Csemy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Iron Maiden: Fear of the dark. 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.
