PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Simon Soap (ranked 204 p4p, 564 weight class) and Roydell Gibbons (ranked 33 p4p, 84 weight class). Soap's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Clean Up - Barney The Purple Dinosaur. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gibbons's choice of entrance music: HonestKey- Raw Dog. Roydell Gibbons 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!
