PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Olav Erikson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Miller's choice of entrance music: Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA. Miller has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
