PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Edmonds (ranked 4398 p4p, 484 weight class) and Dae Won Bong (ranked 4608 p4p, 499 weight class). Edmonds kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus. Bong is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cypress Hill - Hits From the Bong. John Edmonds could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Dae Won Bong's chin.
