Emma- 18 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jet Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicanor Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tourniquet by Evanescence. 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.
