PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jules Verne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sthawy Sthowp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Verne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Christina Milian - When you look at me. Sthowp has chosen Blind Guardian - Into the Storn as his entrance music. Sthawy Sthowp has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
