PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anwar Hussin (ranked 2087 p4p, 1639 weight class) and Gordon Hunter (ranked 270 p4p, 225 weight class). Hussin comes into the arena with Shooting Stars ft. Toro y moi (Flume Cover) blaring out of the sound system. Hunter has chosen King of Curses as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
