PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Farr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Meytal Cohen - Toxicity. Farr has chosen Welsh National Anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tommy Farr is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
