PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tristan Alighieri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Earnest Abe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alighieri's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mosquito Song by Queens Of The Stone Age. Abe has chosen Uncle Sam Goddamn 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.
