PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edward Conan (ranked 1657 p4p, 2541 weight class) and Atanase Teodor (ranked 54 p4p, 100 weight class). Teodor is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Billy Idol - Rebel Yell. 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.
