PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carmine Munzio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manhoef kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is London Calling. Munzio is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rise Against. Carmine Munzio has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
