PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Ducks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlo Fertit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ducks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, It's Raining Men. Fertit is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: SABOTAGE. 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.
