PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kilo Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop comes to the cage accompanied by Drunkula - Lift The Whip. Jackson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Inspectah Deck - Friction. 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.
