PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Rambo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire. Rambo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ride of the Valkyries. 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?
