PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Maraçon (ranked 399 p4p, 59 weight class) and Stres Fleshou (ranked 454 p4p, 69 weight class). Maraçon comes into the arena with Pistolero blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fleshou's choice of entrance music: FOK JULLE NAAIERS - Die Antwoord. 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.
