PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Fourie Du Preez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Du Preez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Niggas In Paris. 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.
