PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dalton Wolfe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and FOSTER Zwingman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wolfe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Run this town by Jay-Z. Zwingman has chosen Loungmeister - Ugress as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
