PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Barry Allen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Allen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Funker Vogt "Arising Hero". Barnes has chosen Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be 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.
