PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire (ranked 192 p4p, 303 weight class) and Randy Randleman (ranked 29 p4p, 47 weight class). McGuire comes into the arena with Confederate Railroad - Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind blaring out of the sound system. Randleman has chosen Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch as his entrance music. 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.
