PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rmarkas Fletcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fletcher's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Keep on Lovin Me Baby by Colin James. McCall has chosen Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies 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.
