PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ben Gordon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Bearer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gordon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Parkway Drive - Frostbite. 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.
