PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean OKeefe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anaconda Yadav (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). OKeefe comes into the arena with Sandstorm blaring out of the sound system. Yadav has chosen Shayad 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.
