PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between JC DeMoney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raul Ewing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). DeMoney comes into the arena with Still D.R.E. blaring out of the sound system. Ewing has chosen B.o.B. - Created A Monster 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?
