PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwayne Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murphy comes to the cage accompanied by Big pimpin Jay-Z. Johnson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Rock Says. 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.
