PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tico Tico (ranked 2648 p4p, 3898 weight class) and Tourney Warrior (ranked 172 p4p, 255 weight class). Tico's entrance music is Paco De Lucia - Tico Tico . A fine choice. Warrior is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mortal Kombat by- some techno guy. 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.
