PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodolfo Foreman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson has chosen eye of the tiger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Anderson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
