PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adriano Cassimiro Andrade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clint Pereira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrade's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Baauer - Harlem Shake. Pereira has chosen K5 - Lovin' Feelin' 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.
