PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dominic Gotti (ranked 317 p4p, 72 weight class) and Peleki Tuala (ranked 48 p4p, 10 weight class). Gotti 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, King Of Kings. Tuala has chosen Dock of Fiji 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.
