PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Fortune Cookie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willy Wonder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cookie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is c is for cookie. Wonder has chosen Voodoo Child as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
