PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Starks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sione Finau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Starks kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bring Da Ruckus. Finau has chosen Ninja Gaiden as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
