PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Simeone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pencil Neck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simeone's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Brucia Ancora. Neck has chosen Rolling Stones - Paint it black as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
