PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Renton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Barney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Renton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lust For Life - Iggy Pop. Joseph Barney struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
