PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Beardwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tora Noshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beardwood's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Black Angels - Young Men Dead. Noshi has chosen Don't Tell Me - Concorde Dawn as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
