PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Fox (ranked 1729 p4p, 1229 weight class) and Juju Baraka (ranked 196 p4p, 142 weight class). Fox's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice. Baraka is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Burning Spear. 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.
