PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Never Faulter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory. Never Faulter has chosen Fire it up by Modest Mouse as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
