PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Mayo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ketsuno Anajo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayo comes into the arena with Super Furry Animals - Golden Retriever blaring out of the sound system. Anajo has chosen Ghostbusters 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.
