PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Todd Haskins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fergus McRedd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haskins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kid Rock - Bawitdaba. McRedd is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Shikari - Sorry You're Not a Winner. 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.
