PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Burke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Ramrod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burke comes into the arena with Discoboys - I came for you blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ramrod's choice of entrance music: 2Pac - Hit Em Up. 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.
