PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Picogram (ranked 2523 p4p, 4337 weight class) and Juan David Franco (ranked 297 p4p, 416 weight class). Franco is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bullet For My Valentine- Tears Don't Fall. 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.
