PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hillary Trump (ranked 239 p4p, 12 weight class) and Seamus MacNamara (ranked 110 p4p, 5 weight class). MacNamara has chosen The Ramones - I Wanna Live 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.
