PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arturo Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clive Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams has chosen Jester 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.
