PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between William Anthony (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Perry Roscrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anthony's entrance music is Holidae Inn. A fine choice. Roscrow comes into a darkened arena with his song building. In The Middle Of It Now 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.
