PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Mimic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mama Said Knock You Out. Mimic has chosen Refused - Hook, Line and Sinker as his entrance music. 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.
