PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Barney Rumble (ranked 5536 p4p, 3291 weight class) and Jimmy Fothergill (ranked 544 p4p, 372 weight class). Rumble's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Queens of the Stone Age - My God is the Sun . Fothergill is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Austrian Death Machine - Get To The Choppa. 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.
