PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Judas Theurophoroi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mu Cephei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Theurophoroi's entrance music is One Step Closer. . .to the Title Shot!. A fine choice. Cephei is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Yngwie Malmsteen - Black star. 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.
