PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ari Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gold's entrance music is All of the Lights. A fine choice. Evans has chosen "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr. as his entrance music. 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.
