PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Horatio Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cody Willis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacobs kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Green River - CCR. Cody Willis 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!
