PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carl Moore (ranked 422 p4p, 381 weight class) and Charley Hanagan (ranked 61 p4p, 57 weight class). Moore comes to the ring accompanied by Sad Man's Tongue by Volbeat. Hanagan has chosen Harley Flanagan - Guilty Until Proven Innocent 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.
