PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Dux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dux's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eye of the tiger. Ford has chosen "Rise Up" by Cypress Hill as his entrance music. 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.
