PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tai Singh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Singh's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mudvayne - Determined. Evans comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Everybody Down kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
