PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Fothergill (ranked 4119 p4p, 2682 weight class) and Kenuichio Harada (ranked 0 p4p, 104 weight class). Fothergill kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Austrian Death Machine - Get To The Choppa. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
