PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Steve Hearsum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sutton Ripley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hearsum's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Aerosmith - "Dream On". Ripley has chosen Danzig - Hand Of Doom as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sutton Ripley has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
