PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Croft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lance Templeton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Croft comes to the cage accompanied by Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit. Templeton has chosen Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go 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.
