PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Puppy Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harlan Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Love comes to the cage accompanied by Otherside by Mackemore X Ryan Lewis. Crowe has chosen Irigy Hónaljmirigy - Rúgj Chuck Norris (Chuck Norris parody by Hungarians) 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.
