PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Scott Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shaun Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, When love takes over. Jenkins has chosen Eurodancer 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.
