PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matheus Carvalho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grimlock Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carvalho's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Notorious BIG - Victory. Jones has chosen Wu Tang Clan - Method Man as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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?
