PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shamil Abdurahimov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Bob Holley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abdurahimov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Michael Jackson - Thriller. Holley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Beer - Ou its good. 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.
