PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ryfus Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rico Dominguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kelly comes into the arena with Spaceboy blaring out of the sound system. Dominguez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Renegades of Funk. 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.
