PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Edmonds (ranked 2742 p4p, 340 weight class) and Sake Chu (ranked 2236 p4p, 293 weight class). Edmonds's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus. Chu is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Daughtry - Renegade. Sake Chu will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
