PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gary Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Huggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simpson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Disturbed - Down with the sickness . Huggins has chosen My Generation as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gary Simpson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
