PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Apollo Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, LIVING IN AMERICA BY JAMES BROWN. Nolan has chosen Down - Stone the Crow as his entrance music. 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.
