PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joe Risley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Federico Manta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Risley's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, JWP/BC - Szesnastki. Manta has chosen Ultima Corsa by Mondo Marcio 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.
