PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Damien Redman (ranked 1448 p4p, 151 weight class) and Andrew Ryan (ranked 1291 p4p, 135 weight class). Redman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Put Your Lights On . The crowd seem to be enjoying Ryan's choice of entrance music: Beast. 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.
