PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Kiedis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paulo Calamote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kiedis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Extacy-DJ Tiesto. The crowd seem to be enjoying Calamote's choice of entrance music: Rain Over Me. 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?
