PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tra Fulton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanders's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Turbonegro - Prince Of The Rodeo. 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.
