PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Barnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samuel Ernest (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnett's entrance music is Alaj volim kad je pomalena. A fine choice. Ernest is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: U Can't Touch This By Mc Hammer. 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.
