PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hung Dong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dong comes to the cage accompanied by Lollipop - BIGBANG and 2NE1. Hardy has chosen AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
