PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lloyd Blue (ranked 586 p4p, 1725 weight class) and Digital Jokinen (ranked 73 p4p, 205 weight class). Blue kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HonestKey- When I Wake Up. Digital Jokinen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
