PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Madison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Time by Peter Gabriel. 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.
