PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jo Ballinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ashton Eaton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ballinger's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cheese Scones. Eaton has chosen Eminem - Berzerk 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.
