PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tre Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roscoe Conwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Conwell has chosen David Bowie ft David Guetta - Just For One Day (Heroes) 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.
