PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between ahbula tuhlur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). tuhlur kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Public Enemy:Fight to Power.. Foster is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Who Shot ya. 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?
