PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scott Hill (ranked 1307 p4p, 1252 weight class) and Luka Marka (ranked 195 p4p, 185 weight class). Marka comes into a darkened arena with his song building. HADES kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
