PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Koryu Miyagi (ranked 1176 p4p, 697 weight class) and Randy Randalman (ranked 137 p4p, 82 weight class). Randalman has chosen Creedence Clearwater - Fortunate Son as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
