PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Lassiter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Webb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lassiter comes into the arena with Hey Superstar - Madina Lake blaring out of the sound system. Webb has chosen Hells Bells by AC/DC as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
