PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eugene Hutz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and CJ Turner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hutz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wonderlust King. Turner is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: All I Do Is Win. 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.
