PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Reuben Kincaid (ranked 1452 p4p, 196 weight class) and Ricky Steamboat (ranked 2719 p4p, 331 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kincaid might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to REM - Orange Crush. Steamboat has chosen Migos- Bad and Bouje 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.
