PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oakley Fisher (ranked 6323 p4p, 6261 weight class) and Mauro Okongwu (ranked 532 p4p, 530 weight class). Fisher kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bolt Thrower - Spearhead. The crowd seem to be enjoying Okongwu's choice of entrance music: Show Stop - REASON. Oakley Fisher has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
