PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bradley Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samak Tiyapairat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Can't Hold Us. Tiyapairat has chosen Ram Muay 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.
