PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Truman Roosevelt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomek Maksymilian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roosevelt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gravel Pit by Wu Tang Clan. 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.
