PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ben Dingdown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikael Johansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dingdown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Baggy Trousers. Johansson has chosen Iron Man - Black Sabbath 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?
