PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hofniel Apollyon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Santiago might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rick Ross - Superhigh. Apollyon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: On My Own-Alone . 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.
