PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jason Rudd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Talentti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rudd kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Solo Banton - Chalice Haffi Blaze. The crowd seem to be enjoying Talentti's choice of entrance music: Metallica - Ecstasy Of Gold. 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.
