PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leonardo Pancho Garcia (ranked 1068 p4p, 1100 weight class) and Jimmy Logan (ranked 145 p4p, 150 weight class). Garcia's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thors Hammer - Mexico. Logan has chosen The Wizard 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.
