PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yoruba Ahimbe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ahimbe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Hit em Up" Tupac. 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.
