PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Jorgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Spike Spiegel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jorgan's entrance music is Dick In A Box. A fine choice. Spiegel is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tank by The Seatbelts. Spike Spiegel told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
