PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sub Zero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zero's entrance music is Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby. A fine choice. Manhoef is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Steady Mobbin'. Sub Zero has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
