PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Noah Diaz (ranked 198 p4p, 94 weight class) and Jim Babcock (ranked 26 p4p, 14 weight class). Diaz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, OPULENT. Babcock has chosen Raiders Attack Vault City 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.
