PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hernan Cortes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cortes's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hard to see. Miller has chosen On to the Next One as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. David Miller has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
