PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Luigi Bonifacio (ranked 1833 p4p, 1940 weight class) and Richie Alaska (ranked 253 p4p, 262 weight class). Bonifacio 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Karate - Kennedy. Alaska has chosen A Long December - Counting Crows as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
