PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Atlas Kivi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riel Dan Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kivi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Ride the Lightning. Reyes has chosen Bad House Music ('98 Dub Mix) 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.
