PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Antony (ranked 3504 p4p, 3535 weight class) and Gage Bennett (ranked 488 p4p, 495 weight class). Bennett has chosen Out Of My Face by Rebel Son as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
