PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colt Hardin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mario Turk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardin comes into the arena with Thunder Kiss '65 by White Zombie blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Turk's choice of entrance music: Y'all must've forgot. 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.
