PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Rossi (ranked 4655 p4p, 6739 weight class) and Donny Jones (ranked 408 p4p, 476 weight class). Rossi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is FOLKSTONE - Frammenti. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Donny Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
