PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Agansing Rai (ranked 643 p4p, 855 weight class) and Danny Sitsongrit (ranked 70 p4p, 92 weight class). Rai kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Break Stuff. 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.
