PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Moncontour Chevrolet (ranked 830 p4p, 1130 weight class) and Kane Thoupos (ranked 130 p4p, 166 weight class). Chevrolet comes into the arena with Loathsome (Pig Destroyer) blaring out of the sound system. Thoupos has chosen 151 Rum - JID 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.
