PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Andok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Do (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andok's entrance music is "Libre" by Tristania. A fine choice. 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.
