PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Joseph Watson (ranked 2234 p4p, 283 weight class) and Sho Nuff (ranked 1343 p4p, 186 weight class). Watson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Anarchy in the UK. 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.
