PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ariel Levin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bublasaur Venusaur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Venusaur has chosen Bulbasaur bongo bebop 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.
