PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abe De Vries (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bhagwan Rajneesh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Vries's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sigur Ros - Svefn-g-englar. Rajneesh has chosen Where's My Linga (In You) 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.
