PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Randy Big Country (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has chosen Travie McCoy: Billionaire ft. Bruno Mars [OFFICIAL VIDEO] as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Randy Big Country looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
