PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Moses (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moses's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Black Label Society - too tough to die. Griffin has chosen The Claw 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.
