PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Hightower (ranked 97 p4p, 59 weight class) and Kjetil Olsen (ranked 17 p4p, 8 weight class). Hightower's entrance music is The Power. A fine choice. Olsen has chosen Tubthumping by Chumbawamba as his entrance music. 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.
