PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sue Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Mourke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Folsom Prison Blues. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Ricky Mourke will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
