PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Lewis (ranked 1908 p4p, 1656 weight class) and Brad Chestner (ranked 259 p4p, 227 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Chestner's choice of entrance music: Black Eyed Bruiser. 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.
