PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Inspectah Deck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alistair Spong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deck kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raekwon feat. Inspectah Deck, GZA-Guillotine (Swordz). Spong has chosen 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
