PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nicodemo Romero (ranked 1775 p4p, 196 weight class) and Oscar Boma (ranked 1912 p4p, 210 weight class). Romero kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lords Of Salem . Boma has chosen Andrew and Wada Blood - Irie 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.
