PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Juan Kemonito (ranked 785 p4p, 852 weight class) and Niko Alzate (ranked 47 p4p, 51 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kemonito might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kemonito 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.
