PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Akamai Hoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edward McLauglin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoi's entrance music is Blood Red Sky. A fine choice. McLauglin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by You Belong To The City. 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.
