PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harold Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hades Hug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howard's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eddie Money - Take me home tonight. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hug's choice of entrance music: Animal I Have Become . 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.
