PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Dole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foster's entrance music is Friggin In The Riggin. A fine choice. Dole has chosen Tear Away by Drowning Pool as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bob Dole will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
