PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Pollock (ranked 1443 p4p, 1777 weight class) and Abdul Rahman (ranked 196 p4p, 236 weight class). Pollock kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Free Jazz. 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.
