PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe McGaleb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronaldo Muyeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGaleb's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZnhuOEUFXA. Muyeira has chosen Death or Jail as his entrance music. Muyeira has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Ronaldo Muyeira has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
