PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eugene Judd (ranked 3850 p4p, 297 weight class) and Brian Fantana (ranked 2913 p4p, 250 weight class). Judd's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I take it up the ass - by lil wayne. 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.
