PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karate Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell's entrance music is DMX. A fine choice. Kid has chosen Go to sleep 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.
