PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brodie Lee (ranked 4168 p4p, 3087 weight class) and Uestus Johnston (ranked 486 p4p, 374 weight class). Johnston has chosen Clint Eastwood- Gorillaz as his entrance music. Brodie Lee looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
