PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saul Reznor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cane's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Alice In Chains - Man In The Box. Reznor has chosen Shook Ones by Mobb Deep as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
