PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Herbie Fleck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steele's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Freak On A Leash. Fleck has chosen Trivium - Down From The Sky as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
