PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Helio James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Heymen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes into the arena with Limp Bizkit Eat You Alive blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Heymen's choice of entrance music: Straight Outta Compton- NWA. 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.
