PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matteo Boretti (ranked 2725 p4p, 359 weight class) and Anton Touchard (ranked 3533 p4p, 348 weight class). Boretti kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon. Anton Touchard is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
