PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mad Dog Iii (ranked 2295 p4p, 285 weight class) and Mike Lambert (ranked 1263 p4p, 163 weight class). Lambert has chosen Aaron Lewis - Country Boy 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.
