PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roby Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matsufubu Rofuru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by Not Afraid (Eminem). Rofuru is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tetsuya Komuro - Speed 2. 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.
