PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joaquim Rapture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Ng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rapture's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, For Heavy Metal we will die!. Ng has chosen Wedlock - I'm The Fuck You Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
