PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Luna Soleil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal Quik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soleil's entrance music is Solitaire Unraveling. A fine choice. Quik comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Zro ft. Devin the Dude - Hit'em with the Mule (Ratatatat Remix) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
