PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Baeddan MacAuliffe (ranked 6700 p4p, 450 weight class) and Leo Yaj (ranked 4549 p4p, 354 weight class). MacAuliffe comes to the cage accompanied by Notorious by Duran Duran. Yaj has chosen Dragula - Rob Zombie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
