PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Greene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evander Tripp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greene's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tiger rap by Andre Nikatina. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tripp's choice of entrance music: Bad Company - The Nine. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
