PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lorenzo Bianchi (ranked 2209 p4p, 1623 weight class) and Devin Ecker (ranked 273 p4p, 213 weight class). Ecker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Where The Hood At?. 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.
