PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fergus Darrow (ranked 2347 p4p, 301 weight class) and Steve Jobs (ranked 3849 p4p, 459 weight class). Jobs is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Aerosmith - Back in the Saddle Again. 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.
