PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alfie Norks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Logan Harter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Like a G6. The crowd seem to be enjoying Harter's choice of entrance music: Stevie Ray Vaughan "Rude Mood". 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.
