PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cecil Jones (ranked 3798 p4p, 5250 weight class) and Ricky Claus Zionovic (ranked 126 p4p, 149 weight class). Zionovic is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: N.W.A Eazy E No more questions. Cecil Jones looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
