PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lemuel Bonner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ajit Aravinda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aravinda has chosen Om Namai Shivai as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
