PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kain Saint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Rotch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rotch is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Right Above It - Lil Wayne ft Drake. 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.
