PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Roussimoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harlan Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roussimoff's entrance music is Andre the giant tribute . A fine choice. Crowe has chosen Sons of Perdition - Blood In The Valley as his entrance music. 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.
