PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Juliano Lao Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Culver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lao Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. 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.
