PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Les Grossman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Archer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grossman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Get Back. The crowd seem to be enjoying Archer's choice of entrance music: Predator Theme. 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.
