PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riki Oh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz de Vivar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Clint Eastwood. Oh has chosen Burning down the House as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
