PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cosmo Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fairtex's entrance music is Bad Company. A fine choice. Velasquez has chosen UFC - Face the Pain as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
