PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiranuka Stakanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White comes to the ring accompanied by Atreyu- You were the king, now your unconcsious. Stakanu has chosen Oy, To Ne Vecher 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.
