PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kronos Doomsday (ranked 29 p4p, 62 weight class) and Bubba Rolls (ranked 5 p4p, 9 weight class). Doomsday kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Main Theme - Doom Eternal. Rolls has chosen Moonshine Bandits - For The Outlawz as his entrance music. 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?
