PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Ballinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones comes to the cage accompanied by Amazing. Ballinger comes into a darkened arena with his song building. A Scottish Soldier by Andy Stewart kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
