PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mantak Garuda (ranked 2474 p4p, 329 weight class) and Chris Harper (ranked 1469 p4p, 216 weight class). Garuda's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Djiin. Chris Harper is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
