PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mileka Loweli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael DeJesus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loweli's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Maui Wowie. DeJesus has chosen I Get Knocked Down 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.
