PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Fury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Show (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Show is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Be A Warrior. Show has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
