PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Wells Dengel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Soza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dengel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Come to Daddy. Soza has chosen Sponge Bob Theme Song as his entrance music. 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.
