PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Weed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ziggy Cliff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Weed kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Call Me Maybe. Cliff has chosen GANJA FARMER as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
