PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Mondell (ranked 5115 p4p, 24707 weight class) and Xavier DeJesus (ranked 576 p4p, 697 weight class). Mondell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Snoop Dogg Feat Nate Dogg, Warren G - Im Fly. DeJesus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fond my mind. Gordon Mondell had a look across the ring there at his opponent. He definitely means business
