PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shane Fergusson (ranked 3177 p4p, 5267 weight class) and Shaun Wallace (ranked 378 p4p, 501 weight class). Fergusson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Scotland the brave. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wallace's choice of entrance music: Enter The Chaser. Shaun Wallace told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
