PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Connor MacLeod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Obrien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacLeod kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Machine Gun by Noisia. 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.
