Battleground MMA has announced that WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross will be calling the action for their upcoming PPV on October 3. Ross will be tag teaming with former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen for the show, which takes place in Tulsa, OK.

Ross has been very outspoken about wanting to get into calling MMA shows, following more than 30 years in the pro wrestling business. One report noted that negotiations between JR and Chael have actually been ongoing for a few months. Ross will be something of a hometown hero, as he lives less than two hours from the venue, and as everyone knows, is a lifelong Oklahoma Sooners fan.
