PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eric Craun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Craun's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pussy Money Weed. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hayes's choice of entrance music: Move!. 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?
