PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Shoryu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thorm Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shoryu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Undertaking the Work of the Lord by Hatewire. Jackson has chosen Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday as his entrance music. 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.
