PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johan Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado comes into the arena with Enter Sandman blaring out of the sound system. Li has chosen 2pac - hit em up 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.
