PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Lee (ranked 2107 p4p, 3321 weight class) and Franko De Cremonesi (ranked 178 p4p, 267 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Doomsday Clock. The crowd seem to be enjoying De Cremonesi's choice of entrance music: Maniac (Eurobeat Remix). 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.
