PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Caleb DeCoteau (ranked 2776 p4p, 4025 weight class) and Salvatore Coppola (ranked 406 p4p, 525 weight class). Coppola is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Duality. 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.
