PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Herb Krison (ranked 90 p4p, 12 weight class) and Jax Thomas (ranked 203 p4p, 31 weight class). Krison's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rebelution. Thomas has chosen Killing is my business, and business is good! - Megadeth 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.
