PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Colin Delaney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Walian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Delaney kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cevin Fisher's Big Freak - The Freaks Come Out. 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.
