PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Henry Hillbilly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ephraim Goodweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hillbilly's entrance music is I Love Country Music (And I'd Rather Fight Than Switch). A fine choice. Goodweather has chosen Alkaline Trio - Private Eye 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.
