PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Freedmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Niedzwiedzki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freedmen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hero by Skillet. Niedzwiedzki has chosen Nirvana - You know you're right 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.
