PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mr Chrome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Van der Laan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van der Laan has chosen Eazy-E ft. Tupac, The Game - How We Do as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
