PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sue Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Horst Linkke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carter's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Folsom Prison Blues. The crowd seem to be enjoying Linkke's choice of entrance music: Anamanaguchi - Helix Nebula. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
