PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Noah Diaz (ranked 2595 p4p, 2431 weight class) and Kyoshi Sun (ranked 348 p4p, 324 weight class). Diaz's entrance music is OPULENT. A fine choice. 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.
