PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Danger (ranked 41 p4p, 66 weight class) and Lamar Gordon (ranked 9 p4p, 11 weight class). Danger's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Gordon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 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.
