PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ash Berry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elliot Saunders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Berry kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red Hot Chilli Pipers - Clocks. 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.
