PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Connah Keates (ranked 3259 p4p, 324 weight class) and Harold Harmbee (ranked 3401 p4p, 339 weight class). Harmbee has chosen Rich The Kid - Plug Walk as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
