PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gul Dukat (ranked 1867 p4p, 1904 weight class) and Eric Osiris (ranked 268 p4p, 273 weight class). Dukat comes to the cage accompanied by Guillotine (Swordz) . Osiris has chosen Erbody But Me by Tech N9ne 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.
