PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Cavalcante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edgar Soto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cavalcante 's entrance music is Sons of Plunder-Disturbed. A fine choice. Soto is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mexican Rap-Cypress Hill. 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.
