PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Jones (ranked 567 p4p, 78 weight class) and Jack Number (ranked 1018 p4p, 151 weight class). Jones's entrance music is King of Kings - Motorhead. A fine choice. Number has chosen This is A Film - Iggy Pop (Goran Bregovič) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
