PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jean Paul Garcon (ranked 8 p4p, 1 weight class) and Pierre St. Georges (ranked 107 p4p, 8 weight class). St. Georges has chosen Jiu Jitsu as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
