PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steve Hanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joshua Heines (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanson's entrance music is Eminem - No Love. A fine choice. Joshua Heines told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
