PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rap Reiplinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calabi Yau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yau has chosen Death Walks Behind You 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.
