PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manny Cedor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lewis Tsushima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cedor comes to the cage accompanied by You'll Never Walk Alone... dedicated to Japan and the disaster victims. Tsushima is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eminem - Till I Collapse. 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.
