PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Project Doom (ranked 638 p4p, 85 weight class) and Meltroco Bimbotinque (ranked 693 p4p, 91 weight class). Doom kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Battle Beast - Touch in the Night. 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.
