PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cyrus Plague (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Rotoras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Plague's entrance music is Kanye West-Runaway. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rotoras's choice of entrance music: Remember the Name!. 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.
