PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arlington Beech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chance Spong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beech's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You Know My Name. Spong has chosen The Cure - A Forest as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
