PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Alex Dragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ansgar Kurucz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dragon comes into the arena with Taio Cruz-Dynamite blaring out of the sound system. Kurucz has chosen Marek Ztraceny - Sex s Ex 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.
