PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Obadiah Klinefelter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Roth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Klinefelter's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Star Wars. Roth is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shawn Michaels - Sexy Boy. 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.
