PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Broderick (ranked 2435 p4p, 1752 weight class) and African King (ranked 342 p4p, 263 weight class). Broderick 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mind by Savanah. 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.
