PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexsandro De Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Souza might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alex De Souza. Romero has chosen Havana 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.
