PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jebidiah Tayber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Luiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tayber kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Terravita - Adult Robot Kung Fu. 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.
