PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Pembelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson's entrance music is 'Trapped Under Ice' by Metallica. A fine choice. Pembelton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hail Mary by Tupac. 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.
