PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Reynolds (ranked 3687 p4p, 997 weight class) and Anwar Hussin (ranked 435 p4p, 138 weight class). Hussin has chosen Shooting Stars ft. Toro y moi (Flume Cover) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hussin has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Anwar Hussin enters the cage!
