PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lamar Gordon (ranked 197 p4p, 251 weight class) and Stoner Steve (ranked 28 p4p, 35 weight class). Gordon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Coming Home - Ditty ft. Skylar Grey. 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.
