PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Fred Durst (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Isaac Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Durst's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hot Dog. Hall has chosen God's gonna cut you down 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.
