PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between S S (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Ravelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). S kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Atmos Ride the Flow(Nelix rmx). 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.
