PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Maxi Carnage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lennon McCartney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carnage's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, DMX - No Sunshine. McCartney has chosen British Marching Tune - The British Grenadiers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
