PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Dungey (ranked 1632 p4p, 2319 weight class) and Fedor Emperor (ranked 234 p4p, 326 weight class). Emperor is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enae Volare Mezzo. 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.
