PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Pott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ringo Star (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell. Star has chosen Ringo Starr's It Don't Come Easy 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.
