PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Tucker (ranked 840 p4p, 812 weight class) and Quentain Martell (ranked 109 p4p, 103 weight class). Tucker's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Faith of The Heart. Martell has chosen I Pledge Allegiance (Nate Dogg ft. Pharoahe Monch) 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?
