PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between lloyd zak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leandro Espada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). zak's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, strenght to go on - rise against. Espada has chosen "Juice" by Rakim as his entrance music. 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.
