PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aleandro Ruiz (ranked 7872 p4p, 586 weight class) and Ray Ray (ranked 7058 p4p, 557 weight class). Ruiz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gasolina - Daddy Yankee. 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.
