PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Danny Duff (ranked 3070 p4p, 327 weight class) and Mateusz Biernat (ranked 1121 p4p, 138 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kendrick Lamar - Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe. Biernat has chosen Someday 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.
