PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ed Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Fisher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Born To Win" by Papoose. 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.
