PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Eja Igwe (ranked 627 p4p, 215 weight class) and Bethania Valverde (ranked 54 p4p, 19 weight class). Valverde has chosen LLAMAME YA 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.
