PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Noeigati (ranked 410 p4p, 702 weight class) and Jim Babcock (ranked 57 p4p, 95 weight class). Noeigati kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cremation of Sam McGee. The crowd seem to be enjoying Babcock's choice of entrance music: San Francisco Live Medley. Jim Babcock has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
