PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tiger Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samuel Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, MANY MEN. Washington has chosen Jared Hudson - Metal Gear May Cry as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tiger Jones had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
