PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bas Dekkers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez comes to the cage accompanied by Hurriganes - Get On. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dekkers's choice of entrance music: Shells - Get your roll on. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
