PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bon Joy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nyquil Salazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Joy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy - Breathe. The crowd seem to be enjoying Salazar's choice of entrance music: Enter Sandman. Nyquil Salazar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
