PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cavalho Atunes (ranked 2459 p4p, 2355 weight class) and Juan David Franco (ranked 288 p4p, 279 weight class). Atunes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Makeba. Franco has chosen Bullet For My Valentine- Tears Don't Fall as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
