PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Scott Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Connor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ac/dc- war machine. Freeman has chosen Real American 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.
