PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Figueson Deiveiredo (ranked 436 p4p, 725 weight class) and Zane Raven (ranked 36 p4p, 66 weight class). Deiveiredo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mission Impossible - Adam Clayton. Raven is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 300 Violin Orchestra - Jorge Quintero. 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.
