PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Madrox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Edgar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Madrox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Probka by Intars Busulis. Edgar has chosen Moby - Bodyrock as his entrance music. 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.
