PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yormomza Built (ranked 629 p4p, 93 weight class) and Yacob Nilsen (ranked 394 p4p, 50 weight class). Built's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Back That Azz Up. Nilsen has chosen Lil Wayne - Right above it as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Yacob Nilsen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
