PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enoch Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. The crowd seem to be enjoying Thompson's choice of entrance music: call to prayer. 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.
