PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matheus Carvalho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Caio Cesar Caprillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carvalho might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Notorious BIG - Victory. Caprillo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Carvalho is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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.
