PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Trevor Burrows (ranked 1555 p4p, 197 weight class) and Damien The Omen (ranked 1146 p4p, 141 weight class). Burrows's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Calm - No problem. The Omen has chosen Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden as his entrance music. 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.
