PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Romeo Glock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tane Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Glock's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. Thompson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by it was over. 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.
