PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jesse James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reggie Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ballad of Jesse James. 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.
