PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ueda Umanouke (ranked 16 p4p, 1 weight class) and Matt Hunt (ranked 87 p4p, 8 weight class). Umanouke's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kenji Kawai's Making of a Cyborg. Matt Hunt will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
