PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Buzz Cloltran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergiy Sklyar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cloltran's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, F**k What Happens Tonight. Sklyar comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scarface - No Tears kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
