PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Murder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doc Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder. 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.
