PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Qing Fu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Copeland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fu comes to the cage accompanied by Last ride of the day. Copeland is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: November Rain. 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.
