PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between J Blunts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lazarus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blunts's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Meek Mill - Polo & Shell Tops. Jones has chosen Enter Sandman - Metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
