PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Burt The Hurt (ranked 5335 p4p, 246 weight class) and Ceasar Morgan (ranked 5926 p4p, 276 weight class). The Hurt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stayin' Alive. The crowd seem to be enjoying Morgan's choice of entrance music: Fat Lip. 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.
