PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Doyle (ranked 3074 p4p, 1519 weight class) and Don Juan Matus (ranked 316 p4p, 179 weight class). Doyle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Clash - Jimmy Jazz. Matus has chosen Crow Spirit as his entrance music. 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.
