PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frankie Albert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reynolds's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, It's time for war - LL Cool J. Albert has chosen My Way- Frank Sinatra 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.
