PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between steve austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christoph Stenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). austin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, shattered dreams. Stenner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Escapado - Freiraum. 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.
