PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shi Fu Tu (ranked 50 p4p, 9 weight class) and Leonardo Da Silva (ranked 77 p4p, 13 weight class). Fu Tu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Klendathu drop. The crowd seem to be enjoying Da Silva's choice of entrance music: Lil Uzi Vert - XO Tour Llif3. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
