PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tong Po (ranked 3 p4p, 37 weight class) and Scotty Bapp (ranked 1 p4p, 7 weight class). Po's entrance music is Muay Thai Music - Wai Khru Ram Muay. A fine choice. 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.
