PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Juzeppe Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesco White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RO-rap prezent. White has chosen Smoke the Fire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jesco White has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
