PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Simmons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdullah Hosseini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simmons kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is No More Pain. Hosseini is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Zulfiqar - Secret Chiefs 3. 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.
