PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pepper James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russell Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Jones's choice of entrance music: Sierra Leone. Russell Jones struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
