PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Selfie Lord (ranked 310 p4p, 304 weight class) and Esteban San Pedro (ranked 40 p4p, 37 weight class). San Pedro comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gunman kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
