PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tito Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coleman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Mosh. Jones is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
