PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between D C Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Howard Moon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes to the cage accompanied by Real American. Moon has chosen Mighty Boosh - Nanageddon 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.
