PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scott Minerva (ranked 533 p4p, 69 weight class) and Jim Bob McDonald (ranked 518 p4p, 66 weight class). Minerva comes into the arena with Make The Money blaring out of the sound system. McDonald has chosen Ray Wylie Hubbard - Redneck Mother 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.
