PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tee Nah (ranked 1622 p4p, 196 weight class) and Michael Brakeley (ranked 380 p4p, 51 weight class). Brakeley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Woke up this Morning. 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.
