PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Felipe Ferreira-Alves (ranked 2768 p4p, 14836 weight class) and Cole Orion (ranked 359 p4p, 293 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ferreira-Alves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Mountain - Jucifer. Orion has chosen Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name as his entrance music. 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.
