PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Casper Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taite Gordon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snow- Informer. Gordon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Whistlin' Dixie. 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.
