PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Jellyroll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jellyroll kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Ecstasy of Gold. Jones is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Injure You. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
