PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Red Cup (ranked 4018 p4p, 466 weight class) and Darren Dahok (ranked 5508 p4p, 573 weight class). Dahok is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Holy Moses. 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.
