PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Steamboat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maximiliano Meridius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Steamboat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lorde - Tennis Court. Meridius has chosen Turn Down for What 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.
