PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Rudd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Goss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rudd comes into the arena with Bob Marley - Get Up Stand Up blaring out of the sound system. Goss has chosen Sybreed: Emma-0 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.
