PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's entrance music is Alice in Chains - Them Bones. A fine choice. Suzuki has chosen One of a Kind 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.
