PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wilhelm Strauss (ranked 1040 p4p, 147 weight class) and Marvin Vettori (ranked 974 p4p, 140 weight class). Strauss's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Root Of All Evil. Vettori is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Police On My Back- The Rocketz. 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.
