PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bronson Hughes (ranked 2591 p4p, 3561 weight class) and Hukkelberry Flint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hughes's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slam - By: Onyx. The crowd seem to be enjoying Flint's choice of entrance music: Farmer Song. 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.
