PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Curry (ranked 156 p4p, 7 weight class) and Orpheus Boagrius (ranked 154 p4p, 3 weight class). Curry's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Molly Malone - The Dubliners. Boagrius has chosen Akkadian Empire as his entrance music. 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.
