PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uzziah Judah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aghavni Anahit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Judah comes into the arena with We Ready blaring out of the sound system. Anahit comes into a darkened arena with his song building. 2 steps from hell kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
