PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aki Tono (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and TJ Kong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tono's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Traditional Mix by JapA. Kong has chosen The Devil Went Down to Georgia 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.
