PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Matt Vbahi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matheus Pinheiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vbahi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pregador Luo - Bate Pesadão. Pinheiro has chosen Let's Go - Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo as his entrance music. Matheus Pinheiro has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
