PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Estevan Ledesma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thriller Indiano. Ledesma has chosen Mark Ronson ft Q-Tip - Bang Bang as his entrance music. 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.
