PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Mayfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kelvin Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayfield's entrance music is Imperial March (Rage Mix). A fine choice. Parker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Armin Van Buren - Sail. 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.
