PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fanta Coco (ranked 360 p4p, 855 weight class) and Johnny Lydon (ranked 56 p4p, 119 weight class). Lydon has chosen Queen - Don't Stop Me Now as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
