PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ki Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teddy Ferguson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Law's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Soulja Boy. Teddy Ferguson 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!
