PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gully God (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Jayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). God comes into the arena with Mavado - Gangsta Nuh Play blaring out of the sound system. Jayne has chosen The Doors-People Are Strange 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.
