PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Mbuto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Webb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mbuto's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sunshine Day. Webb comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hells Bells by AC/DC kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
