PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between JD Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hopkins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Symptom of the Universe - by Sepultura. 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.
