PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Curze (ranked 6888 p4p, 614 weight class) and Duke Murdock (ranked 5643 p4p, 545 weight class). Curze's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RIse of the Night Haunter. 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.
