PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iggy Guerrero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dusty Covers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guerrero's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, La Bamba. Covers has chosen All within My Hands as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
