PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby McBobby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santiago's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rick Ross - Superhigh. McBobby has chosen Cold as Ice -- MOP as his entrance music. 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.
