PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Wilson (ranked 1536 p4p, 1180 weight class) and Kenichi Misahawa (ranked 230 p4p, 179 weight class). Wilson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Under the knife. 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.
