PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bong Ji Woo (ranked 61 p4p, 657 weight class) and Greg Fitzgerald (ranked 8 p4p, 88 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Fitzgerald's choice of entrance music: It's Bedtime by Ninja Sex Party. 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.
