PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Clinton (ranked 613 p4p, 517 weight class) and Zigor Azarola (ranked 51 p4p, 43 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Azarola's choice of entrance music: Million Shattered Swords by Witchrot. 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.
