PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pink Mink (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brooks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Narita. Mink has chosen Pop the Glock as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
