PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kris Smyth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Helio Reincarneited (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smyth's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Painkiller - Pendulum feat. Freestylers. 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.
