PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yeovil Tiger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Rolston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tiger comes into the arena with Delilah by Tom Jones blaring out of the sound system. 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.
