PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mauri Ruoska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James McNulty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ruoska kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rolling Stones . McNulty is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman by Metallica. 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.
