PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Francis Oosthuizen (ranked 2770 p4p, 4676 weight class) and John Pork (ranked 328 p4p, 0 weight class). Oosthuizen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is TLAD. 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.
