PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nines Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy La Plegua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rodriguez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Label Society - Overlord. La Plegua has chosen "Summon the Spirits" by Pouppee Fabrikk 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.
