PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Luc Louiselle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugh Hefner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Louiselle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Closer. Hefner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Puff The Magic Dragon. 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.
