PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cam Newton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tauheed Epps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Newton comes to the cage accompanied by Superman. Epps is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 2 Chainz-Yuck. 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.
