PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Buchanan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Buchanan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is T.I. - Every Chance I Get. Wallace is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Can't be Touched. 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.
