PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Razor Ramone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramone comes into the arena with Go to sleep blaring out of the sound system. Jackson has chosen Run This Town as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
