PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Limu Emu (ranked 929 p4p, 1565 weight class) and Patrick Thomas (ranked 122 p4p, 192 weight class). Thomas has chosen Central Cee - 6 for 6 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.
