PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andy Kopecki (ranked 1308 p4p, 713 weight class) and Lutalo Masamba (ranked 154 p4p, 92 weight class). Masamba has chosen Conversations (Skeler Remix) - Juice WRLD 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.
