PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lito Alcala (ranked 438 p4p, 522 weight class) and Chu Ho Soon (ranked 33 p4p, 39 weight class). Alcala comes to the cage accompanied by MORTAL KOMBAT. Ho Soon has chosen Carl Orff - O Fortuna as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
