PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabe Christianson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tesco Vee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christianson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Like a Boss. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vee's choice of entrance music: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple man. 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.
